Description:

Interdisciplinary examination of the ways that memories of warm, trauma, and immigration are produced through the medium of film.

Also examines the aftereffects of war by analyzing connections between war's trauma, race, immigration, and incarceration. Students will read critical texts, film theory, screenplays, and view films. Same as GWS 315. Prerequisite: AAS 100 or AAS 120, or consent of the instructor.
